Get hooked on crochet! The author of Supersize Crochet guides you through the basics so you can finish your first project in just one day.

In Beginner's Guide to Crochet, each new stitch is explained in easy steps with accompanying photographs and diagrams and is followed up with a project showing you how to utilize your newfound skills.

The twenty modern projects range from a super simple French press cozy to a granny square blanket. Plus, there is a section dedicated to "extreme crochet," using t-shirt yarn to create larger-than-life crocheted creations. In addition, crochet charts are included for each stitch and pattern, with the author explaining, in detail, how to read and follow charts.

The author's chatty, informal style will take you on your journey from newbie to fully-fledged crocheter, and before you know it, you'll be crocheting and making fantastic homemade presents for friends and family.
